You've been around long enough to know how to use code tags.

Don't count on much help until you use them properly.

Also scroll down the page and check the box "Disable Smilies" so that all those smilies do not appear.

All you probably need is DateTime::Now.ToString() to get the current time and date. I'm not sure why you would need the picker but if you want the user to specify the date you could get it by dateTimePicker1->Value.ToString() EDIT: Was typing during FBody's post but what he says is true. Learn to use the tags or else no more help on your posts.

Since you are writing managed code you will have to find out how to get the current system date/time. There are win32 api functions such as GetSystemTime(), but that is unmanaged code.
